I was only 13 at the time so I thought this was pretty good. At the time I had the Mini, a Austin A40 truck and a Francis Barnett 200 motorbike. Mom was really angry LOL

Piles of Jumo and Daimler Benz aero engines, at an air base on the outskirts of Kolleda, Germany, May 1945. Would be with a fortune today and the Jumo was the power plant for the Me 264, among others.








He has some big wood.

I remember those days, in San Marcos, TX. Meeting all my buddies at the movie theater on Saturday Morning for the manatee. 25 cents to get in, 50 cents bought a popcorn, Milk Duds and a large Coke and I got change back. All money was earned by picking up pop bottles from the ditch along the roads and getting 2 cents per bottle. A newsreel, an episode of a serial, two or three cartoons, lots of previews, and a movie. Ride my bike to the theater, leave it unlocked and parked on the side of the building, and it was there too ride home.

That's much the way it was for me around 1950/1951. I'd mow the lawn every weekend, & my mother would give me 35 cents for it. I walked to the movie theatre (maybe a couple of miles), & it cost 25 cents to get in, & I could buy two candy bars with the left over dime.

It was there I also noticed what some of the guy & girl classmates from school were doing there at the movies. Later on I realized I wasn't as advanced as they were.

5-year-old Harold Walker picks 20 to 25 pounds of cotton a day, Oklahoma, 1916.








What is the little girl being pulled by her dad looking at?
Not a photoshopped image and not a time traveler's cell phone. It is the dark slide from the photographers 4x5 film holder. Remove the dark slide, take photo and you have to put the dark slide back in the film holder before you can take another photo with the film from the other side of the film holder.

Title: Family walking on highway, five children. Started from Idabel, Oklahoma. Bound for Krebs, Oklahoma. Pittsburgh County, Oklahoma. In 1936 the father farmed on thirds and fourths at Eagleton, McCurtain County, Oklahoma. Was taken sick with pneumonia and lost farm. Unable to get work on Work Projects [i.e. Projects] Administration and refused county relief in county of fifteen years residence because of temporary residence in another county after his illness.
Creator(s): Lange, Dorothea, photographer
Date Created/Published: 1938 June.
Medium: 1 negative : nitrate ; 4 x 5 inches or smaller.
Reproduction Number: LC-USF34-018227-C (b&w film nitrate neg.) LC-USZ62-130176 (b&w film copy neg. from file print) LC-DIG-fsa-8b38702 (digital file from original neg.)
